Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 16 oz fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Melt the butter and infuse with garlic and parsley: In a large pan or skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter. Add the minced garlic and dried parsley, then whisk to combine and allow the flavors to meld. Turn off the heat to prevent the garlic from burning.
  3. Toss pasta with butter mixture: Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic butter mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure every strand is evenly coated with the flavorful butter sauce.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan over the coated pasta. Continue tossing until the cheese melts into the noodles, making them creamy and cheesy. Adjust by adding more Parmesan if desired.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the noodles and season with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley, adding it at the end for a burst of freshness.
  • To add protein, consider tossing in cooked chicken or shrimp.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when melting the butter.
  • Leftover noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
